No, thank you. And this is coming from someone that read the OP years ago. The fact that short-term reposts gain so much volume on here indicates that front paging is incredibly stochastic. It's been this way for a while; submit a link once and it gets 0 comments, and the second time 130 comments, and the third 14 comments, all within a month and using the same title. As sad it is, the only way to fight through a stochastic system is to increase the frequency of posting everything so that on the average things break through for the "right" amount of time. Though, this doesn't bode well for the future of this medium.
I'm not again repost but I don't think the situation has changed in less than 2 months.
